In the square, the area with the highest concentration of rats.
A large piece of thick black grease suddenly appeared on the ground.
A group of rats are stuck in grease. If they take two steps out, they will fall down and become covered in grease.
A boy named Andy has red hair fluttering in the wind, like a ball of fire.
Early Stage 2, Fire Elemental Warlock.
Before Angel was born, he was once considered the most promising candidate to join the Randolph family and marry Pamela.
Even Andy himself thinks so.
Things have changed now.
Pamela can't decide on her husband.
However, the elders of the family and she herself do not mind her raising a few male pets for fun in addition to her official spouse.
Just like her aunts and uncles.
Sitting in a harem surrounded by beautiful men is a kind of enjoyment.
Andy needs to prove that at least he still has value as a spare tire.
This team task is a good opportunity to work hard.
After casting 2 rings of "Fuel Technique" on the rats.
Andy stretched his hands forward and spread his fingers in a fan shape.
Fiery magic surges in his palm.
"uré!"
Speak out a mantra that symbolizes "scorching".
Andy's ten fingers shoot out flames together!
Ten slender fire pillars up to five meters long form a cone-shaped fan, sweeping forward.
The grease everywhere was ignited and turned into a sea of fire.
Many giant rats were trapped in the sea of fire.
The flames rushed to the body, igniting the grease, and roasted him mercilessly.
The dying giant rat returns to human form.
Rolling in the fire, wailing in despair.
……
"Carir!"
The third member of the investigation team, Duke, cast a level 1 "Ice Creation" spell on a group of ratmen.
Under their feet, the flat ground created a smooth surface of ice.
The Rat Man focused on shooting with his crossbow and did not pay attention to the changes on the ground.
Suddenly I found that the soles of my feet were slipping, and I fell on the ice one after another.
Duke sneered and drew out his sword, initiating the atavistic transformation!
Two months ago, he successfully broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to the first level "White Dragon Warlock".
Awakened the "Ice Making Technique" and the first level of "Atavistic Transformation".
Pale dragon scales slowly attached to Duke's body.
Both hands also turned into a pair of ferocious and sharp dragon claws.
Duke, half dragon and half man, strode onto the ice.
In his atavistic transformation form, he can walk freely on smooth ice as if there are suction cups on the soles of his feet.
The rat man fell on the ice, and as soon as he got up with support, his neck was strangled by pale dragon claws.
Pfft!
The sharp claw penetrated the throat, and blood spurted out.
Duke stuck out his long and forked tongue and licked the hot blood on his hand.
A pair of cold vertical pupils, shining with cruel and bloodthirsty light.
……
Angel and Allen stand together.
Just like when we were on the boat.
"Alcar!"
A handsome young man with a sickly face, dressed in black robe, recited a mantra softly.
Angel raised his hand and pointed at the rats.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
Brilliant rainbow light spurted out from his sleeves, forming a cone-shaped wave surface and pushing forward.
Under the "colorful jet", the giant rats fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
A very small number of particularly strong ones barely managed to avoid fainting, but were also shocked and temporarily blinded.
How high is the mental power of the genius boy Angel?
On the way to Magic Stone Island by boat, Allen was curious and used the Taotie system to deduce Angel's attributes.
The calculated results left him speechless.
Attributes: Physique 8, Agility 16, Spirit 28
For a newly promoted level 1 warlock, would this mental attribute... be a bit outrageous?
Not only is it outrageous, it is simply outrageous!!
Allen merged with the blood of the Poison Demon, ate a lot of special ingredients, and took supplements like crazy. Now he only has 21 points of mental attributes.
21 points of mental attributes are actually very good for a level 1 warlock.
The question is, who are you comparing with?
Angel, this little monster, is really too outrageous!
The higher the warlock's mental attributes, the stronger the lethality and control of the spell.
The level 1 spell "Colorful Jet" is a typical field control magic.
Those giant rats on the opposite side have been hit by Angel's spell, so don't expect to rely on your own willpower to resist mind control.
Wait to die!
While the rats were being frightened by Angel's spell.
Allen took out a small bottle of acid.
Use it as a casting material to cast "water control" on the rats.
Rain pattern!
The acid in the bottle evaporates quietly.
At the same time, a burst of acid rain fell from the night sky, all of which concentrated on the rats.
It's like taking a sulfuric acid bath.
In the blink of an eye, all the rats were corroded to a bloody pulp.
There was a squeaking sound all over the body, and sour white smoke came out.
They collapsed in the acid liquid and kicked their legs one after another to die.
A dying giant rat finally got rid of the shock and struggled to climb out of the area where the acid flowed.
Thick blood flowed all over his body, and a scarlet trail trailed behind him.
Angel slowly raised his right hand.
Five purple balls of light emerged from the pale and slender fingertips.
Level 1 "Magic Missile" will be released soon.
Allen raised his hand to stop him.
"It's not worth wasting magic power on a dying mouse."
Angel was slightly startled.
He has too much magic power to use up, and he doesn't understand what "waste" means.
Allen's next words successfully persuaded him to give up casting spells.
"Keep it for now, I'll use it."
"Well, okay." Angel nodded, "You go ahead and do your work first. I'll help other teammates deal with the cultists."
Watching Angel turn around and walk towards Duke.
Allen followed the system prompts and walked to the dying giant rat.
Take out two syringes and reagent bottles, and collect saliva and plasma.
Didi——
"Exposed to the 'bubonic plague' germ (level 3 infectious disease)!"
"Exposed to 'pneumonic plague' bacteria (level 3 infectious disease)!"
"Warning! Contact with 'lycanthropy (rat)' virus (level 5 infectious disease)!!"
Allen's virus resistance is level 4.
Completely immune to all forms of plague.
But... lycanthropy is actually a level 5 virus!
Even he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Put away the virus reagent bottle, activate the magic power in the palm of your hand, completely smash the needle contaminated with the lycanthropic virus, and throw it into the fire.
From now on, Allen can synthesize "plague" bacteria and "lycanthropy" viruses through his own venom glands.
Especially the "lycanthropy" virus, which increased his poison resistance bar a lot.
There is only a little bit left before the virus resistance can be raised to level 5.
At this time, he received the system prompt again.
"The smell of special ingredients has been detected!"
Allen smiled.
Magic Stone Island is really a geomantic treasure land!
……
In the battle in the square, the outcome has been decided.
Seeing his men rushing to the street one after another, the cult leader couldn't hold himself any longer.
Pulling at the throat, urging other cultists to come up and deliver it.
Apply oil to the soles of your feet and run away!
Quickly ran to the dock warehouse, opened the door and went in.
There are crates stacked in the warehouse, and there is a musty smell.
Near the corner, there is a very hidden iron door.
The cult leader ran to the iron gate and took out the key.
Crunch——
The iron door is open.
Inside the door is a staircase extending underground.
The cult leader held the door open and walked quickly down the stairs.
At the end of the stairs, it leads to an underground secret room.
The sacred artifacts of the Beast Worship Cult are enshrined in the secret room.
The sacred vessel is a statue placed in a stone niche.
A one-foot-tall statue, the material seems to be some kind of bone.
As it ages, it takes on a yellowish ivory color.
Human body and rat head, sitting cross-legged.
The shape looks a bit weird.
The cult leader carefully took out the statue from the stone niche.
Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me!
The cult leader looked back in shock.
I saw a tall and strong young man blocking the door of the secret room with his arms on his shoulders.
"You little bastard! Get out of here!"
The cult leader hugs the statue with his left hand and brandishes a dagger with his right hand.
Trying to frighten off the young man blocking the door, he fled.
Allen sneered and strode closer.
"Kill you!!"
The cult leader's eyes were red and he stabbed Allen in the heart with a knife!
Hound pace!
Easily dodge the dagger.
Allen struck a "exploding palm" to the chest, causing the cult leader's sternum to collapse and fly backwards.
Bang!
Like a painting, it is flat on the wall and slowly slides down.
Vomiting blood, pupils dilated.
Allen stepped forward and picked up the bone statue.
He followed the system prompts and tracked him all the way here.
I accidentally discovered this underground temple.
This weird statue is a special ingredient.
But...
It’s not just special ingredients.
Allen is not a beast worshiper.
I don’t understand the religious significance of this statue.
However, when he touched the statue, he felt his heart beat faster for no reason.
The blood all over my body seems to be boiling.
When the ogre bloodline first awakened, I had a similar feeling...
Could it be that...?
Allen opened the system page to check the changes in his bloodline.
As expected.
The very thin lycanthropic blood in my body is subtly resonating with the statue worshiped by the Beast Worship Cult.
